Hello,
Next Diehards meeting is Tuesday November 24, check emails for final time location. We will have usual presentation, portfolio roundtable, question answer session, miscellaneous members brief presentations/handouts, open discussion and another presentation. We will be discussing "The Bogleheads' Guide to Retirement Planning" over several meetings, so try to read it if possible at some point (not neccessarily by this meeting), and write down what questions you have for the group as you read it for the roundtable session.
I look forward to seeing everyone again,
LH

7th Cincinnati Diehard Meeting held
Great meeting,
I really enjoyed tonights meeting, thanks to dave and ken for the presentations, dave if you could email me back the name of that book, I think I may read it, sounds like you really enjoyed it, and with 5 percent of my allocation in china, I think I should read it. I may well get out of china and put it into emerging for diversification. We had china bubble, vanguard rebalancing, and Swedroes REIT alternative investment reports tonight, as well as the regular roundtable and general impromptu discussions.
It would have probably taken me a couple years, if ever, to figure out that I could rebalance like Ken has done on vanguard. Its not really a well defined site. Great presentation.
It seems we have all broken our investment plans to some minimal extent, myself with doing a banded type rebalance, instead of my planned yearly rebalance. Feels good, and really minimal if any harm done. Overall we have all stayed the course.
It seems in terms of stock/bond ratios, we are all on the same path allocation wise given our age. We have a nice gradient of age in the group, although not anyone really young (which is defined as 20s early 30s heheheh).
Next meeting will be in october or novemeber. If anyone has any formal presentations they want to do, please let me know. And always feel free to make your own handouts for the roundtable section if you so desire for short 1-5 minute informal type talks or questions you have about your portfolio. I think we have a great wealth of knowledge in the group.
look forward to seeing everyone again,

6th Cincinnati Diehard Meeting Held
Was an interesting meeting given all that has happened in the market. Reports on the Recession Causes and aftermath of Market Crisis were given. Thanks to David for giving his informative report on characteristics and length of past crisis.
The portfolio roundtable showed that for the most part, everyone attending has stayed the course. We had 8 people attending in an old bank vault at Tellers Restaurant in Cincinnati. We had two retirees and 6 aspiring retirees. Meeting ran just over two hours. No ice storms occurred. My thanks to the random person we got to take the picture and all who attended. Next meeting in 3-4 months.
cya soon,
LH
